Para estas Navidades, el director Michael Colgan realizará una adaptación teatral de la novela clásica de Charlotte Brontí«, Jane Eyre, que será llevada a cabo en The Gate Theatre, Dublí­n. La escogida para interpretar el papel protagonista, es decir el personaje de Jane Eyre, ha sido Andrea, despuíés de que el director quedara impresionado por la interpretación de Andrea como Christina en Dancing at Lughnasa. A continuación, os dejo el artí­culo publicado por el periódico irlandíés Irish Independent


--- Citar ---Colgan signs up Andrea as his Jane Eyre

By Barry Egan
Sunday September 12 2010

It is perhaps his most inspired piece of casting since Bruce Willis played Bruce in What Just Happened (by the way, we all know what just happened to Michael Colgan -- his love for theatre led him, via Harold Pinter and Samuel Beckett, to an OBE, but I digress). The artistic director extraordinaire of the Gate has cast Andrea Corr as Jane Eyre in his new production at -- well, where else? -- the Gate.

Colgan told me he was excited at working with the incomparable Ms Corr -- what man wouldn't be? "I've been trying for sometime to cast Andrea Corr in a play. It was Brian Friel's idea for me to go and see her in Dancing at Lughnasa," Colgan told me. Don't tell me you missed Corr's performance as Rose in Friel's Dancing At Lughnasa at the Old Vic in London early last year?

"I was hugely impressed with her performance. And she and I have been talking."

The talks have been fruitful and after several meetings with Andrea and director Alan Stanford, Colgan was able to tell me "Andrea is going to play opposite Stephen Brennan as Lord Rochester in a special production of Jane Eyre at the Gate this Christmas."

It is sure to be a hit, not just with Irish audiences, whose bums will fill every seat, but international luvvies too will hopefully get on planes to come to Dublin to watch it.

Something of a jetsetter himself, Colgan was in hectic form as he was in the middle of rehearsals for Pinter's Celebration. It opens on October 6 at the Gate with former EastEnders' heartthrob Nigel Harman in the lead role. Colgan is directing. He was also finalising Krapp's Last Tape at the Duchess Theatre in London which has its opening night on September 22. Maybe he should run for the Presidency? But would that be a too much of a demotion for the tirelessly cultural Colgan?

Opening night in Jane Eyre role

By Ken Sweeney
Wednesday November 10 2010

IT was a family affair for the first night of Andrea Corr's new stage role.

The singer was flanked with support from her sisters Caroline and Sharon at the opening night of 'Jane Eyre' at the Gate Theatre in Dublin.

The lead singer of the Corrs donned a period dress for her title part in the eponymous romantic drama in which she stars opposite actor Stephen Brennan.

Amongst the crowd were numerous stalwarts of the theatre scene with the Gate's artistic director Michael Colgan, actress Alison Doody and writer Alan Stanford amongst those in attendance.

Arriving at the theatre along with husband Brett Desmond -- the son of financier Dermot Desmond -- the Dundalk-born pop star was also watched by actors Bryan Murray and Michael McElhatton as well as Gay Byrne and his wife Kathleen Watkins.

Ms Corr was approached to play the role of Jane Eyre by Mr Colgan after he saw her in a production of playwright Brian Friel's 'Dancing at Lughnasa' at the Old Vic Theatre in London in February.

In this adaptation by Mr Stanford of Charlotte Bronte's novel, Ms Corr plays Eyre, a young woman who survives a wretched childhood, unbroken in spirit and integrity, to eventually fall in love with the troubled Mr Rochester.

Baxterianism, usuario de The Corrs Club, tuvo la oportunidad de hablar con Andrea hace varias semanas acerca de la publicación de su segundo álbum. Andrea no sólo le dio a conocer que el álbum de versiones se publicará esta primavera, sino que, además, poco despuíés se publicará un tercer álbum con canciones enteramente suyas.


--- Citar --- was able to talk with Andrea for quite a while a few weeks back.

Just thought I would post some of the information I was told regarding her solo album work.

I asked her when are we likely to see her 'Covers' album?

She told me that it would be released in the spring but shortly after she would be releasing another album which is all original content by herself.

Been meaning to tell the board this snippit for a few weeks now. Sorry for the delay!

Can't wait until Spring!

Simon ;-P
